On Sunday, October 6th, ARF Hamptons celebrated its 50th anniversary at its annual Stroll to the Sea Dog Walk in East Hampton. The community came out in full support with their precious four-legged friends for a two-mile walk to raise funds for animals in need. Everyone received a cool t-shirt with original artwork by designer Isaac Mizrahi and a tote bag, perfect for stashing treats from local vendors.
There were many teams, duos, and solo walkers all walking for a great cause and the opportunity to score top fundraising prizes like a custom pet portrait by Robert James Clarke, a CSA summer share for the 2025 season at Amber Waves, a Yappy Hour hosted in ARF’s William P. Rayner Training Center, and for the top children fundraiser (under 10) a shopping spree at Dylan’s Candy Bar.
“With Fall in the air, the smell of fresh donuts, and the pure joy of dogs frolicking on the beach, this really is a special day for our community. But it’s so much more than a day of fun with family, friends and pets. It’s a chance for everyone to pull together and raise funds to save animals with nowhere else to turn,” shared Kim Nichols, Executive Director of ARF Hamptons. “It takes a village to provide the level of care our animals receive, and every contribution has a significant impact. You can make a difference!”
